I wanted to read this book for one main reason – to teach my
children how to manage their finances.When I was a child, my parents never taught me; but there were a lot of
things parents didn’t teach their children that I am grateful we teach our
children now!

I remember getting myself into trouble financially because I
didn’t want to tell my children I didn’t have the money to buy something.Nowadays, I include them in the decision
making.I teach them that we have a certain
amount to spend on “us” over a two week period (my pay days) and when we choose
to spend it all in the first week, we don’t have anything left to spend in the
second.It’s truly amazing how they
accept the idea and we move on to doing something that’s free.We are learning to enjoy what we have
together.

I love the way this book breaks down age appropriate
teachings, but doesn’t forget to mention that every family is different (and
every plan can be personalized to fit your individual family!).I also like the step by step processes,
lists, and question and answer sections.

I became a grandmother this past Friday evening (August 10th)
and plan to pass this book on to my son and his wife.To be honest, they could teach me a thing or
two about finances – they are extremely disciplined and have already mentioned their
intention of teaching their daughter how to be financially responsible.
